Hants’ H1N1 vaccination clinics may not go ahead as scheduled.

Capital Health’s spokesperson John Gillis cannot say if the two flu clinics, planned for November 9 and 16 at Windsor Elementary will still be held. Due to a national vaccination shortage, supplies are monitored on an hourly basis and targeted to higher risk groups.

Those at greatest risk include pregnant women, healthcare workers, children six months to five years and members of First Nations communities.

Confirmed clinics are listed online, Gillis says. “When more vaccine is sent, more clinics will open and additional people will be able to receive it.” Up-to-date information is also available by calling 811.
